Preparation

Step 1

-Heat the water, butter, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted. Add the flour all at once, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Remove the pan from the heat and beat rapidly until the mixture pulls away from the side of the pan. Let cool slightly, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is thick and smooth. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a wide star tip. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Pipe 5" lengths of the dough into the oil. Deep fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust the churros with confectioners’ sugar and a light topping of cinnamon.
